Urstruly,

Ur points sound plauible but India doesn't resort to Qoranic path to resolve this issue.

Prez of Pakistan is a titular head as on date therefore final decision on Sarabjit wud be taken by the govt of the day; given what the top guys who matter tell, there's a way out for the guy.

The stakes for India as very high as the intevention at the top-most level was applied in this case. So Pakistan wud play ball. Moreover the visit of the Foreign Misniter was fixed during this month followed by PM's slated visit sometime this year. Reckless Pakistan under Mush (if the Gillani's govt is dissolved) wud alone do some adventurous thing......

Instead of guessing abt the outcome, I'd prefer to rely on the key factors in this case. The qisas angle of Qoran is not on table for India at all. Lets see.

Dear Moeed,masadi and Urstruly

The question of hanging Sarabjeet doesn’t arrive. We, Indians don’t mind hanging Sarabjeet provided he is guilty and has really committed the crime. Tell me if the accused Sarabjeet is left free and tomorrow commits a heinous crime in India, Will the Indian Government paradon or exonerate him. These are the questions to be answered. Not only that the witness in this case has taken a 360 degree turn. Some of the relatives of the victims have said they will commit suicide if the accused is left free. But first I ask u honestly to answer my question. What were the pakistani intelligence officials and police agencies doing when Sarabjeet crossed the Border with the Bomb. Where they (Police officials)sleeping or munching peanuts when he was planting the bomb. Since there was no fence or barbed wires, he might have actually slipped across the border. How is it possible for one person single handedly to orchestrate bomb blasts in different cities viz (Lahore, Multan & Islamabad). There must be some local people or local conspirators involved in this crime.

Regards

Iqbal

Ans: This is possible. Provided, Indian Govt. does not release somebody like Omar Seikh. All the released prisoners from Kandahar Hijack, later proved to be fatal and carried out more henious crime...

Re: # 162 Iqbal.

If Indians don't mind sarbjeet getting hanged, then we have no issue. Rest of your post is immaterial. You had 8 years to challenge the legal system, which you didn't. Questioning lax security is no defence and neither it can exhonorate anyone. Case closed.

Pakistani legal system..well if only they had one. Take the case of national accountability bureau cases, all those..sorry only a few who have been charged have been left free and all cases withdrawn

Then the muktaran mai case. Initially no one was charged per the hoodood law..then five were charged and then ..wait for it, four sentenced to death foe rape in pakistan..well because mushy wanted it to appease the western media.

That is the legal system of pakistan and you talk about any one found guilty by a court in pakistan, what value what credibility any pak system has got, zilch
